Purchase and install cutting-edge lighting and sound equipment for a state-of-the-art newly built Education Centre.
This project is for the purchase and installation of a sound and lighting system in support of a larger project to build a new studio theatre and education centre, due to start shortly. This new facility will house a 150 seat Studio theatre (300 standing) and provide a versatile space for cultural activities and educational programmes. The sound and lighting system is needed to enable the space to function both as a studio theatre and workshop that will benefit the community by offering accessible, affordable space for cultural and performative activities, providing a range of activities and learning opportunities. Programmes will include workshops and training programmes aimed at nurturing talent development in the performing arts. By offering diverse cultural programming, the project aims to enrich the cultural landscape of Lancashire and create a vibrant hub for artistic expression.

VolunteerThe Friends of Lowther Pavilion, established in 2008, are dedicated to ensuring the long-term success of the Lowther Pavilion Theatre in the Fylde community. Operating as a separate independent charity to the Lowther Pavilion Trust, they have achieved significant milestones and raised over £100,000 in donations to support the theatre’s activities.
These funds have made a remarkable impact on improving the theatre experience, enabling essential initiatives such as: the replacement of the main theatre Sound System, ensuring high-quality audio for performances.; the refurbishment of the theatre floor to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for visitors. Recognizing the importance of accessibility, the group's donations have facilitated the installation of a new hearing loop system. This enhancement allows people with hearing impairments to fully engage and enjoy performances at the theatre. Additionally, their support has covered expenses associated with the current bar, enhancing the overall facilities and amenities available to theatregoers.
Through their dedication and generosity, the Friends of Lowther Pavilion have played a crucial role in enhancing the theatre experience and ensuring its ongoing success within the community.
